  Not really, but suppose you register only a global error callback
and not one per parser, this allows to look at the parser context anyway.
If you use xmlReadFile(), you get an error, you didn't se a specific
parser error handler, all you have is a callback on the global
error handler, with the error information. Having the context infoamtion
if available allows to check thing like the parsing state, even though
you never saw that parser context before.
   it's redundant information if you have per parser callbacks.
